29, and my first gaming experience was on an Apple IIgs.

I'm a PC gamer to the core. Never met a console I liked.

I'm currently in my 18th year and my first system was a Sega genesis. =D
Then it would be a N64 and Came Boy color. Man, those were the good ol' days.

19, and the first console I played on was the megadrive. I can't remember the proper name for the game, but it was some sort of Jurassic Park game. I thought it kicked ass at the time!

19 and my first system was Sega Genesis. Sonic 2 was my first game, and Sonic Spinball the first game I actually beat.

21, Playstation was the first system I owned, but I was gaming since the Famicom (points to the one to name this console, as if you already didn't know) days. I even played a few 3DO games.

15... God I want to be 16, EMA... £30 a week...

My first console... well, the first one I had all to myself was my purple Gameboy Advance. <3
I got it for my tenth birthday with Shrek's Swamp Car Racing...

But if you don't count a computer as a console I think it was a Playstation that belonged to my brother. Rayman, Abe's Odysee... good times...

You do count a Gameboy as a console, just a handheld console.

17. I never had an original console, and my Computer is the first dedicated gaming thing I have ever owned. My brother owned a SNES and that was the first gaming apparatus in our house.

16, first console was a PS2 slimline but I'd been playing on the PC for a few years before I got that so it would be more meaninful to say that my first games were Worms 2, Toca Touring Cars and Spirit Of Speed 1937.

 

[orifice]

35 and still gaming.

 

[ianuam]

Twenty years old. First console was a c64 and vic20, then i got a master system couple months after. Only really got into gaming seriously when i won a ps1 and a copy of croc2 in a supermarket contest. Still remember impossible mission and the joys of Dizzy fondly from my early childhood though.

20 here, hitting 21 in just under a month (jeez thats scary).

The first console I had was I guess the old ZX Spectrum that my dad basically passed on to me when he had the PC. So I basically spent my time nabbing the kitchen TV + setting up the ZX, play for a bit, get bored, then nab the PC to play DOOM at the age of 3.5. Ah good times...

 

[Mr Fatherland]

[wewontdie11]

Well I'm 19, and my first console was a SNES with Duck Hunt and a light gun. Those were simpler times, better times....
